It's so beautiful I can overlook a few shortcomings. Not that Ducati said it was a dirtbike or a touring bike either. It's a versatile bike that can do about anything if you need it to. It has maximum pride factor and that matters. I love mine.

I think it's great that Ducati are still flogging the air cooled twin that started life as a 500! They are trying to attract new riders into the market with sexy names like 'scrambler' but we all know they cant go off road. As a styling exercise, its great. As a road bike, it's great. As a high mileage bike for touring, it's not so capable unless you have a van! Love your honesty Pavlin.

A weekender. Now that the buyers wallet is 11000 euros lighter, it will easily fit in a tank bag or in the rider jacket.

I personally don't like adventure bikes...I'm more inclined towards naked bikes and dual sport bikes and I've used them both for making travels of 4000 to 16 thousand kms.....you can ride on anything as long as you feel well or reasonably comfortable on you bike and I've used plenty of aftermarket parts to make them suitable for long trips having a lot of fun doing this. You only need to point to any direction you wish to travel on it and just do it!!!! Never ever be scared of not having the "perfect" bike because there's no such thing.....sometimes you get tired on the bike but the feeling of freedom and adventure erases everthing.

Quality germanic no waist of time nor energy.. Clean productive efficient....pro!!! ..very pragmatic and technical. Excellent review. Thanks Pavlin! Respect!!!😉

The Ducati Desert Sled is the real adventurer

actually I use my Scrambler 800 for adventure riding and I love it. I especially like going off road so the lightness and low seat height help a lot with agility. The 800 has more than enough power as well. But then I am 5'10", if you were much taller the leg position might bother you. I made a rack for the rear which includes saddlebag mounts. Thanks for your review of the 1100.

I love all these videos. Thank you, Pavlin! :)

Very nice video, thanks! Love your videos man, very usefull!

I traveled for 1200 km around the country and it’s awesome

I recommend the Ducati Desert Sled for a Scrambler if you are a tall rider. It's a dual sport air cooled and only 800cc, a completely different bike. I can do around 200 miles in a day before I need to get off as a 6'2" 46 yr old rider.

Hmmm the man is about to hit a 100k subs! Congrats in advance. But I bet you really dont care about such things 🤣.

Pavlin, please will you test a bike that you will buy to replace your Yamaha Tenere, it doesn't have to be a new bike but a bike that you will ride around the world. I am curious to see what you will come up with, I think a lot of your followers are waiting to see what your next choice will be.

The design of the machine is attractive. It is a motorcycle for small riders. When I sit on it with my 190 cm, my knees are at the ears.

Thanks for another insightful video. My question is, how about the triumph 900 or 1200 scrambler?

I found my dream for my italy trips ,at least in summer. For just trashing anywhere (even in winter)i started to save for a second hand NC750x 2016+ or V-strom 650 2010+. Thanks Pavlin!

Great review! Went to Nordkapp from Luxemburg and back with my Monster 821 last year, great bike. Didn't let me down. Needed a kine after the trip though 😂

Excellent review, very thorough and to the point.

Congratulations for 100k. Keep going

I thought the 2020 models had stacked pipes on the right side. I like this bike. Good review.

Pavlin, nice review. If you have time please review triumph scrambler 1200.

As you say Pavlin, it is not impossible to travel with anything. Look "Haye op reis" on youtube, yes its in Dutch, he travels with a 1000cc bmw k100 from 1990 en does kirgistan, oezbekistan, one year or so alltogether and even does some off road. It takes a lot imagination, some courage and believe in yourself, and then you can travel with almost any bike.. As allways, good review..

Beautiful bike! Best regards!

Nice review👍

Excellente review ! Thank you 👍

Very good review! It would be very interesting to make a test ride review with the top scrambler model the 1100 sport pro.

I test rode this bike. As a smaller man (175cm) felt very comfortable. Love the sound of the ducati scrambler 1100 ❤️ a shame that there's no way you can install panniers.

Nice review. Regards from Brazil.

Fair review, as expected!

Ducati decided to develop the Sled - and I think they're almost there. I prefer the ergos. on the original Scrambler and wish they beefed that one up. Like you said - an expensive Elephant.

Beautiful bike , although would not suit my purpose. A great Sunday morning coffee shop ride. Happy travels

youre right its not for everyone its unique

Hi Pavlin, Nice review. You mention short riders briefly, but maybe don't consider them enough. I am a man of small build and simply struggle to handle many bikes because I can barely touch the ground. And there are many women out there that would prioritise a low seat height. Please don't think of this as a complaint. I love your attitude to bikes and riding. Just remember we are not all over 6 foot tall and strong like you.

Ducati has VERY Good reliability today!! people don't realize this.....it's not the same Unreliable bike as 25 years ago....it's under new ownership

Can u review yamaha mt07? Please, I love ur reviews because we hace the same height and u always talk about the fit of the bike for ur size.

EISH !!! Sorry Pavlin but this in my humble opinion is a waste of money - but thank you for the review now i know what not to buy. Again, thank you for all your efforts to bring us an honest point by point assessment of these bikes.

How tall are you? Knie or ergonomic is also my biggest concern. But very nice bike.

2valve air cooled ducati engines are excellent

How hot does it get in the riding position after riding 30 minutes to an hour? I live in a hot southwest climate in Texas. So even mild heat off of the bike is magnified greatly in the summer heat. I like modern retro styling but heat from the motor or exhaust is main issue in bike preference to me.

Maybe the 800 Desert Sled would have given a bit more off-road versatility. Not quite an adventure bike but better than this model.

Beautiful bike. Not for me, but the design is very nice,

Looks like you have to travel lightly with this bike. Backpack and go

Thank gods someone had the sense to reroute that brake cable on the final release!! How did that even make it into beta? Italians are supposed to have better design sense. :-p

My Man

No wonder this is a beautiful bike, but I would not travel very far with it, not only because its lack of wind protection but also because it is a Ducati, sorry.....and what is that wire on top of the headlight? Isn´t it possible to put it somewhere else?

Nice vídeo, how does the engine behaves below 3000rpm? The new monster sucks!

What is your height sir?

Most of these bikes will spend 90% of their lives in a nice warm garage!

Many riders with short leg, like me lol😂😂😂

What about the heat dispersion? Did it get hot?

That front brake hose looks looks wrong as it leaves the master cylinder, way too long.

What about KTM 990 SMT compared?

What about RnineT scrambler?

Looks like a toy on you hahahahaha! But : it's pull!

There’s just no way around this, no front glass is going to be super annoying in the long run

If you feel uncomfortable after 30 min maybe it’s not the bike?

180 on the freeway... would be more than cute if it weren't KILOMETERS/h. ;-p

Ducati reliability ?

That brake line looping up and over the headlight looks stupid ridiculous.

You say it's not for you but you had no prob traveling on Himalayan.. which is basically a poor man's scrambler

This is a bike to go to the nearest Starbucks. Despite I am not an offroad rider, I would never buy it. On other hand, I am pretty sure it will find its customers. Part of them will be hipsters, but part of them will be people having it as a second or third bike just for fun.

sorry how the hell is that a scrambler?

NICE BIKE FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING ----- YOU WILL BR RIDING ON YOUR OWN -- NO FRIENDS

Good review of a horrible motorcycle :)
